Chapter 639: Chapter 275: Seizing Resources "Since I’ve appeared, naturally I’ve made all the necessary preparations." "The Sea God’s Secret Realm will also open at this moment. Awaken, Endless Sea!" As the Sea Emperor’s words fell, countless waves once again rolled towards that monster. Countless small creatures and water flows converged from all directions into a massive bright whirlpool, which rotated and roared in the air like a Giant Dragon. Under this brilliance, the presence within the black mist revealed fear and unease, beginning to retreat, yet oppressed to the point it couldn’t escape. "Do you think this can stop me?" The shadow creature let out an angry and deep roar, struggling but futilely being swallowed by the gradually strengthening light. "I will imprison you forever in despair!" However, just as it prepared to launch its greatest attack, a dazzling golden light pillar suddenly descended from the sky. It was the holy Energy formed by six brilliant Runes, transforming into an overwhelmingly majestic and irresistible tide rushing towards that twisted figure! Boom— The entire space shook, the bright and powerful shockwave tearing the shadow’s existence apart in an instant like a cataclysm. Darkness was gradually devoured, countless undead howling as they vanished into the void, and those Souls, supposed to be imprisoned in pain, flew towards the golden brilliance—they had finally found their haven! However, even all this might not completely end it. A crisp yet slightly sorrowful voice sounded, "Though you’ve ruined my plan, Hell will not stop because of this strike." As the voice fell, the enormous whirlpool shook once more. A more terrifying, deep, and ancient being began to awaken. From that Dark Abyss, a gigantic tentacle slowly stretched out as if to tear the space apart, continually attacking them. But just at this moment, the entire sea suddenly surged, countless golden seawater abruptly pouring into the Hell Passage. The Sea God’s power suddenly appeared, suppressing all forces entering the ocean! Rumble— Accompanied by the roar, this time, they finally succeeded in closing the Hell’s gate. "It worked." 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖 Watching this scene, the Sea Race all breathed a sigh of relief. Yet the Sea Emperor and David’s expressions were extremely grim. This time, they indeed repelled Hell’s invasion, but this was only the beginning, far from the end. The Sea Emperor gazed at the gradually calming sea, "Although we closed the gate to Hell, that evil force still lurks in the shadows, ready to strike." He said, his voice deep yet firm, "We must find the source and completely eradicate it all." "If we do not thoroughly eliminate these evil roots, more threats like this will face us in the future." The Sea Race’s expressions also gradually became somber. The Sea Emperor exhaled and said, "Next, we must become stronger." Though this Hell invasion had a significant impact on the Sea Race and they lost many of their kind, successfully killing the Shark King, this unstable factor, finally allowed the Sea Race to welcome a period of stability. The Sea Race could use this time to significantly enhance their own strength. To better empower the Sea Race, the Sea Emperor decided to remove restrictions on some sea areas, allowing the Sea Race to enter and search for resources. "In the depths of this sea area, there are still many undiscovered treasures and powers. We must seize the opportunity to unearth them." David listened and also showed a smile on his face. This time he entered the sea to obtain more resources. Although the process was a bit convoluted, the final result was good, and he would surely collect enough resources moving forward. Subsequently, led by the Sea Emperor, the Sea Race entered the Shark King’s domain. Now that the Shark King was dead, naturally all the wealth within that territory belonged to them. Under the Sea Emperor’s guidance, the Sea Race’s warriors formed a small team preparing to plunder the wealth. The Shark King’s domain was once a terrifying realm spreading shadow and despair, but now it revived due to its death. "Stay close to me! Be wary of possible enemies nearby," the Sea Emperor cautioned as he led the way. As they ventured deeper into the area once ruled by the Shark King, a scene of beauty and abundance gradually unveiled before them. Colorful coral reefs, luminous little reefs, and schools of small creatures swam happily in the rejuvenated sea. "This is our opportunity!" the Sea Race exclaimed excitedly. They already felt a powerful Energy, here lay countless critical resources yet to be discovered. But just then, a low and sinister laughter came from afar, "Do you think these riches can be easily yours?" The crowd looked up, spotting several newly emerged burly Shark Race members with fierce, brilliant eyes swimming towards them. These sharks were part of the remaining forces under the Shark King’s rule, not giving up resistance due to their leader’s death. "We’ll make you pay for this!" One of the biggest and strongest bit down on a rock by the shore, shouting loudly. "Prepare for battle!" The Sea Emperor ordered without hesitation. With the conflict erupting, the two sides began to clash. The powerful Shark Race boldly attacked, but after training from the last confrontation with the shadow creature, the Sea Race warriors bore no fear.
